Overview
- WDWNT photos showed Wednesday that Disney finished repainting the towering entrance rocks, closing a project that began in 2023, paused for years, and restarted in February 2026.
- New misting palm trees now cool guests across the land, with at least six placed on the path to Cosmic Ray’s Starlight Cafe, near Tomorrowland Speedway, and along the walkway by Star Traders, Space Mountain, and TRON Lightcycle / Run.
- Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin, closed since August 2025, is in final tests and is scheduled to reopen on April 8, 2026.
- The Cinderella Castle moat is drained as crews repaint the castle in a gray-and-blue scheme inspired by its earlier look.
- Disney has not issued a public statement on the rock work or the misting trees, which fan outlets such as WDWNT, Inside the Magic, and Chip and Company have documented in photos.
